Respuesta :

Answer:

b. given jobs such as handling dead bodies or collecting trash.

Explanation:

According to the Hindu faith, the "untouchables" or "pariahs" are "impure" and therefore are discriminated against for belonging to the lower caste, although the constitution considers them equal to all citizens. The majority of those belonging to that caste are poor, have no land and do mostly physical work, such as garbage collection.
